When the Bough Breaks Reviews

It was incredibly boring.

| May 6, 2020

This could've been so much more interesting. It really could have.

| May 6, 2020

The worst kind of thriller -- one where seemingly smart people keep doing dumb things over and over and over.

| Original Score: F | Jan 15, 2019

We have seen this same story over and over again and this movie does nothing to give us any new twists.

| Nov 13, 2018

... woefully generic. Truthfully, its presentable package of panicky polish includes a stylish suspense piece highlighting an attractive cast involved in familiar dramatic cable-온라인카지노추천 inspired shrugs and false jolts.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 9, 2018

Dear Screen Gems, Stop.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018

Its worst crime is being predictable, which sort of kills the suspense of it all.

| Original Score: B | May 9, 2018

Give us a When the Bough Breaks with smarter direction.

| Aug 10, 2017

An enjoyable camp fest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2017

Director Jon Cassar might have made a big name for himself with his Emmy-winning series 24, but he clearly didn't make every second count in When the Bough Breaks.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 4, 2016

Thrillers in which seemingly harmless outsiders worm their way into safe, secure, middle-class homes and then threaten them were popular in the '90s; this one feels like a pale copy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 16, 2016

The movie boasts strong performances by Chestnut and Hall (both of whom are always welcome)... Ultimately, though, all are undone by the tiresome familiarity of Jack Olsen's predictable script and Jon Cassar's limp direction.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2016

A neutered, paint-by-numbers snoozefest.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 15, 2016

This is Cassar's second film this year -- the first was the exquisite Western Forsaken -- and confirmation that he's a filmmaker of uncommon talent and versatility.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Sep 14, 2016

A predictable and cliched affair featuring seemingly intelligent characters who can't stop making terrible decisions.

| Original Score: 0.5/4.0 | Sep 13, 2016

Awful. Just awful. And while watching it, you get the distinct feeling that everyone involved with When The Bough Breaks knows it, too.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 12, 2016

A promising setup yields nothing but a cliche story and endless logic gaps in When The Bough Breaks, a film with two lead actors who deserve far better material.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 10, 2016

A lazily written and generically directed Fatal Attraction knockoff.

| Sep 10, 2016

The plot doesn't differ much from last year's parody of these types of movies, A Deadly Adoption ...

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 9, 2016

Writer Jack Olsen's glossy script goes light on logic, credibility and mining some of the story's deeper ramifications, as it works its way toward the inevitable, largely predictable final showdown.
